Several default monitors are provided with the IBM WebSphere InterChange Server Express product. You can either monitor the system using the default monitors, or you can create new monitors. To gain a better understanding of what information is included in each monitor, refer to the following sections:

The Default monitors table contains a description of the default monitors provided with the Monitor Definition Wizard.

The Configurable properties of display options table contains a description of display options listed in the Default monitors table.

Examples of display options contains samples of the display options listed in the Default monitors table.
